Fu Yunshen's method really worked.

First poisoning, then robbery, the stimulation to the prisoner was not small.

Since the other party wanted to put him to death, he didn't have to say anything, so he simply had to pull a cushion for death, so he confessed to the person who instructed him to assassinate behind the scenes.

The man had some kindness to him, and he took the job, but at the time of the assassination, he did not know that the target of the assassination was the emperor.

According to the clues he provided, Dali Temple followed the vine and found out the person who planned the assassination, and found out the details of the person.

His sister turned out to be Concubine Ling's maid in marriage, although he did not admit his guilt, but with this relationship, it was difficult for Concubine Ling and her maid to get out completely.

Since this matter involved the harem, the queen also intervened.

The means of the harem are not as good as the outside, and some of them are ways to grind people. The palace maid couldn't find death once, she was caught, and then she couldn't help herself, and she couldn't do it if she didn't want to.

The whole thing was exactly the same as Fu Yunshen's previous guess.

Concubine Ling sneaked out of the palace that day at the risk of disobeying the holy decree, just to save the driver in this assassination and regain the holy favor by virtue of saving the driver.

However, by mistake, he was cut off by Lin Shutong.

However, her approach still worked, at least some of the Sacred Heart was saved, but later she was implicated again and ignored because of Ling Wanyue's rumors about the prince.

The purpose of this assassination may also be the intention of framing the prince, but the matter has come to this point, and one can be picked out.

Concubine Ling took all the blame for the crime, but it was an extreme move to save the Sacred Heart, and she would never admit that there was still an element of framing the prince.

But with such a thorough assassination, the emperor naturally didn't believe that it was just from the hands of Ling Concubine, a woman who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, so he inevitably suspected Ling Xie, and even the fifth prince.

However, there is no clear evidence pointing directly to Ling Xie or the Five Princes.

It was Ling Concubine's henchmen who planned the assassination, and if it happened, it would be Ling Concubine who would benefit, and it had nothing to do with those two.

The five princes are close relatives and flesh and blood, and Ling Xie is the head of the hundred officials, so they can't be convicted at will because of speculation.

In the end, the emperor only sent Concubine Ling.

Concubine Ling's purpose was not to hurt the emperor, and she had been in love for many years, so the emperor only demoted her to a concubine and sent her to the cold palace, which saved her life.

Ling Concubine fell, the fifth prince could only clamp his tail and be a man, and Ling Xie also stopped for a while.

The prince took advantage of the victory to pursue, and Fu Yunshen served in Dali Temple, so he acted cheaper.

Fu Yunshen flipped through the past case files and retrieved many unjust, false and wrongful cases that had been suppressed by Ling Xie for retrial.

This move caused many officials who had taken refuge in Ling Xie to fall down, and a large number of courtiers were replaced, many of whom were carefully arranged by Ling Xie to be in key positions for many years.

The fifth prince was in a hurry but had no choice, because in order to avoid having too close contacts with the courtiers and thus arousing the emperor's suspicion, he relied on Ling Xie to contact the courtiers. He can't talk to those people, so he can't brainstorm ideas, and he doesn't have a position to intercede for them.

In the past, those people only looked at Ling Xie's horse, and Ling Xie only looked at his horse's head, but it didn't matter.

But now, in order to avoid suspicion, Ling Xie closed his door to customers, which is equivalent to abandoning these people, and the five princes can only watch those henchmen being eliminated one by one.

Ling Xie's act of standing by and watching in order to protect himself also chilled the hearts of many officials.

Soon it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but in just a dozen days, there was a major change of officials in the DPRK and China, and the power of the court was redistributed.

Zhou Jingrong naturally couldn't feel these silent bloody winds, and she was still feeling sorry for the Lantern Festival to enter the palace.

After becoming an official's wife, she has become accustomed to the fact that whenever there is a festival, the lively emperor will definitely hold a palace banquet and summon all the ministers to accompany him to have fun.

But the problem is that Zhou Jingrong doesn't find the palace banquet interesting at all.

The palace banquet is nothing more than being able to eat food that is only available in the palace, watching songs and dances, and patting the emperor's fart. The emperor may feel very happy, but they as courtiers still need to tighten their heartstrings all the time, how uncomfortable.

No, Zhou Jingrong was quietly stuffing something into her mouth to eat, and she was named by the emperor unawares.

It was because there was a mixed sauce at the banquet, and the emperor felt very refreshing when he ate it, so he praised it: "This dish looks fresh, and the imperial dining room has such ingenuity, it should be rewarded!" ”

The queen smiled and continued: "Your Majesty, this is not the credit of the imperial kitchen, it was developed by Deyin." The concubine thought this dish was good, so she added it to the menu of the palace banquet. ”

Pei Deyin got up and replied: "Uncle Huang, this is not the credit of the courtier, it is what the courtier learned from the cartoons made by Madame Fu. ”

The emperor still remembered Zhou Jingrong, looked at her, and praised: "I didn't expect that Madame not only works in painting, but also studies the way of food, which is really virtuous!" ”

Zhou Jingrong was cued, and hurriedly swallowed the meat in her mouth that she hadn't had time to chew raw, and got up to thank her: "The courtiers don't dare to be." ”

The Emperor smiled and said, "I still remember the caricature you made earlier about the customs of various countries, which was unanimously praised by the envoys. It just so happens that in the spring of the next year, the court will send envoys to various countries for a return visit, and I will give you a task, and you will also make the humanistic customs of the Xia Dynasty in cartoons, so that the envoys will take them to various countries, and let them appreciate the style of my Great Xia. ”

As soon as the emperor said this, everyone looked at Zhou Jingrong one after another, revealing a look of surprise and envy.

A female streamer was personally assigned by the emperor to promote friendly exchanges between the dynasty and other countries, which is a great grace!

Zhou Jingrong didn't thank her, but politely refused: "Your Majesty, the paintings of the courtiers are just graffiti, and they can't bear such a heavy responsibility." ”

The emperor only regarded her as a humble remark and said: "Your painting can be affirmed by the envoys of other countries, it is good, you don't need to be humble." ”

Everyone else thought that Zhou Jingrong was modest, but they didn't expect the emperor to say this, but she still refused: "Your Majesty, the diplomacy between the two countries is an important matter of the country, and the courtiers really dare not take on this important responsibility." ”

She bit the word "don't dare" very hard, and the emperor really asked: "Don't dare?" Why not? ”

Zhou Jingrong was embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, you also know that someone used the cartoons of the courtiers to frame the queen's mother before, and the courtiers were apprehensive about this, and now the comics that are being serialized have been postponed for updating." If this kind of thing is encountered again in the process of drawing cartoons for the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the courtiers are afraid that they will be unable to escape the blame. ”

The comic insinuation of the queen is fiction, and someone deliberately framed the queen through the comics. And who is behind the scenes, and what is the purpose, is related to the previous incident when the prince was slandered by Ling Wanyue, it is self-evident.

Zhou Jingrong said this, where did he feel that he was not worthy of the responsibility, and he clearly meant something.

Everyone looked sideways and sweated for Zhou Jingrong's bold words.

Fu Yunshen was even more anxious, and was about to get up to apologize to the emperor for her, but the emperor laughed: "Okay, I understand what you mean." I have given you a clear decree, that is, you have been ordered to do things for me. Except for me, no one dares to say that yours is not, are you at ease? ”

Zhou Jingrong responded happily: "Yes, the courtiers obey the emperor's holy will." ”

The emperor shook his head with a helpless smile, and said to the queen: "I've been messing around with that girl in Deyin for a long time, and they are all this virtuous, top ghosts. ”

There was a false alarm, and Fu Yunshen's trembling heart was put back into the cavity.

Because at the banquet, he didn't say anything to Zhou Jingrong. But on the way back, he pressed her into his arms and rubbed her for a while.

"I really spoiled you, so I made you so bold, how dare you be so speechless in front of the emperor? It's a shame that the emperor didn't care about you, otherwise your little head would have moved now! ”

Zhou Jingrong's face was deformed by Fu Yunshen's rubbing, and he shouted indistinctly: "I have a vegetarian in my heart!" ”

Fu Yunshen let go of his hand, still feeling angry, and flicked her forehead again: "What do you count!" ”

Zhou Jingrong touched his forehead, pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "In the previous assassination, the emperor only condemned Concubine Ling and the assassins, and did not implicate their families, so it can be seen that he is a Ming monarch." Since ancient times, the prince of generosity has not sinned with his words. Even if he is not happy, he will not be in the main hall, in front of the civil and military officials, because of a few words of an ignorant and weak woman. Besides, I help him with the work, and I have to take the risk, so I won't do it! ”

Of course, the leader and guide can't shirk the work, but they can't do it in vain, and they must fight for their own rights and interests within a reasonable range.

How to bargain with the leader and guide is also a technical job, and ordinary people can't do it, hum!

Fu Yun was angry that Zhou Jingrong's heart was big, but he couldn't do anything about her, so he could only say: "I can't talk about you, but when you face the emperor in the future, you must remember that he is not the monarch who has committed the same crime as the common people in your place, he is the Son of Heaven who has the absolute right to speak." The Son of Heaven is angry, and the blood is drifting, and you must be cautious and cautious in front of him, and be careful and careful. ”

As he spoke, his voice lowered, and he said muffledly, "It's me who doesn't have the ability to protect you." ”

Fu Yunshen blamed himself a little, if he was more capable and able to hold great power, wouldn't Zhou Jingrong be able to do whatever he wanted, and he didn't have to look at anyone's face?

Zhou Jingrong didn't expect Fu Yunshen to think like this, she was moved and guilty in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she changed the topic and asked, "Then, if I annoy the emperor and am beheaded by him, what will you do?" ”

Fu Yunshen was still angry with himself, and when he heard Zhou Jingrong ask, his expression was still annoyed, but he said seriously and firmly: "If you can't live together, you have to die together." ”

Zhou Jingrong's heart trembled, she was moved, her eyes were a little wet, but she said arrogantly: "Then you have to remember what you said, if I die before you, you must not live alone, so that I don't have to watch you forget me underground, and then marry another woman, I can't stand it, I will be angry and alive!" ”

Fu Yunshen had only heard of someone who was angry, but who had heard of someone who was angry, he couldn't help laughing, took Zhou Jingrong into his arms, and sighed: "You, I really can't do anything about you." ”

Zhou Jingrong was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "I will be cautious and cautious in the future, and I will never be so reckless again." I don't want to die, I want to live well with you! ”

Fu Yunshen chuckled, rubbed her face, and responded, "Hmm." ”
